 Gt Longstone WI meets on the first Wednesday of each month (except for January and August) in the Village Hall in Great Longstone. Our meetings start at 7.30pm with some business and then we are generally entertained by a speaker on a variety of topics or a demonstration. There is time after the talk for a cup of tea/coffee and a look at the trading stall or a chat with other members. During 2009, we met with other WIs at Group Meetings and Council Meetings, manned (!) a stall for the Longstone Village Day and enjoyed several meals out and various other outings. Members of the Walking Group (+ dog) have also been out each month enjoying rambles in the hills and dales. In the Summer our Craft Group was presented with three awards for Longstone's Co-operative Craft Entry (depicting the Nursery Rhyme Appley Dappley) at the Bakewell Show: a crystal bowl to Janet Oliver for Best Craft Exhibit in Show (her charming mouse), Cup for Best Exhibit for Institute with under 25 members and Certificate for Visitors' Choice. Our programme for 2010 is as follows: January 13th New Years Lunch at The Crispin, Gt. Longstone February 3rd at 2pm Pearls - from Small Beginnings March 3rd Variety of Sage Holidays April 7th The Fifties & Sixties May 5th South Africa & Lesotho and Discussion of Resolutions June 2nd British Film Stars July 7th My Life with Gilbert & Sullivan August Tour/Visit to be arranged September 1st Russian Adventures October 6th AGM and Art & Craft Display of members' work November 3rd The Dolphin Experience December 1st Christmas Party Usually each month we have a themed Trading Stall for which members bring appropriate goods for sale.
